The Electric Typewriter.

The new electric typewriter relieves the
operator of every duty except pressing down
the keys. The carriage moves automatically
to the starting point whenever the end of q
line has been reached, and also moves up one
notch or line at the same time But the
most important office of the new instrument
seems to be its use in recclving and trans
hitting tclcsraphic dispatches. 1t is said
at the Patent Office that the instrument can
be used both as q transmitter and receiver
of intelligence over n single wire, no matter
how great the distance may be- The
receiving instrument does not require
the attendance of an operator, but
prints the dispatch automatically. The
Instruments at both ends of the line
print the dispatch sent, and so a safe
guard against mistakes is provided II is
claimed that the electric typewriter will he
valuable rs a local aid TO business, and offers
many advantages over the telephone. One
advantage claimed for !, is thai no matter
whether person called up is at his place of
business or not, the message can be printed
through the medium of his typewriter, and
will be there for perusal on his return. The
dispatches printed are in letter form, and not
an endless tape, The instrument has been
christencd the dynamograph.

MRS. Villas AT THE MARKET.

Il Is wonderful how many great peo-
pie one sees in the Washington mar
kets. Half of the noted housekeepers
Of the Capital do their own marketing,
and the majority of them can tell the
difference between a tender piece of
loin and tough piece of neck. They
usually come in carriages with coach
men and footmen, and they have a
servant with them to carry their bas-
kets, or, in some cases, they order their
things sent home.
Mrs. John A. Logan is good mar
keter. Mrs. Sherman understands all
about the ins and outs of various stalls,
and she can tell You where you will
get the best cuts and the sweetest butter.
] saw Mrs. Villas in the market the other
day. She was standing at game stall
and examining critically turkey lying
before her. She evidently did not like
the looks of the bird, for she spoke to
her servant and bought elsewhere.
UPS AND DOWNS.
Just here ] noticed contrast of the
ups and downs of Washington life. Near

straight, fine looking, and with an air of
culture about her. Her features, how
ever, were scanned with sorrow, and her
dress, though neatly made, had, long
)ince seen it's best days. She had bas-
ket upon her arm, and noticed that its
contents were scanty and cheap. Still,
few years ago, this widow was one of
the leading ladies of the land, and she
stood almost as high in Washington So
cieiy as Mrs. Villas does now. She was
feted. and her cheeks, which are pale
now, then blushed with compliments.
Her husband was one of the promi-
uent men of his party. He held a
high official position, and his fu-
lure was as bright as the summer sky,
He lived, however, beyond his means,
and when II cold, caught at White

growth in Washington property during
the last year has made many wealthy.
An increased number of rich citizens of
the various States is settling here year
after year, and there seems to be plenty
of money and to spare. Fully half of
the Congressman have remained for the
holidays The President and the Cabi-
net are spending their vacation quietly,
but Christmas greens are being used by
the carload, and enough turkeys have
been eaten to have stocked the markets

CURIOUS MARKET SCENES.
The most curious scenes Of the season
have been those about the markets, and
Washington markets are like no others
in the world. We have, you know, a
large proportion Of the colored element,
and hundreds of boys rush about asking
to carry your basket. They are out at
the elbows, and bare at the knees, and
their soleless shoes frequently exhibit
both heel and toe. Good-natured,
bright-eyed and not infrequently hui
morous withal they clamor for
distance for a nickel or dime. Some
of them are genuine thieves, and sent
q basket home the other day which
contained Saturdays marketing, a
part of which was q fine tenderloin
steak. The boy took the basket to the
door, but put the steak under his arm,
and upon the servant attempting to take

this b'longs to me-" / met him again a
day or 70 afterward, and accused him Of
the theft. He denied it, upon his soul,
with blank look Of astonishment.

The School Trustees are authorized by
law to provide course OF study for the
public school, and teachers are required
to teach the several branches included in
it. The trustees alone have the right to
decide what shall or shall not be taught
in that institution. Should a parent OBJ
ject to any particular study embraced in
the course, he should apply to the trustees
and ask to have his children excused, Civ
ing his reasons therefor in writing. If
the trustees refuse to grant his request it
is then optional with him whether he will
yield to the requirement or withdraw his
children from the schOOl.-Ronndabont.
Mr.. Editor, we must beg leave
to differ with you on the above
matter. To deny to any patron
of the public school, who pays
heavily in taxes to support it, the
right to omit any branch of study
from his child's education, is to
impose a burden rather than a
blessing. The parent is the best
judge of his child's health and me-
cessities, and it is unreasonable to
suppose that any parent Will deny
to his child all educational advan-
tages not precluded upon sound
and satisfactory grounds. There
isn't college in the land, so far
as we know, at which parent can
not enter his child for any branch
of study he pleases. The pupil
cannot graduate unless he studies
the regular course, but he is not
shut out Of college for all that.
We do not think it desirable to
have Jesuitic methods in the
Frankfort Public School. 1t
should be conducted on the broad
est principles for the good Of the
many" and consistent with the
most efficient system Of discipline
and management. PATRON.

The building Of the Frankfort,
Paris & Georgetown railroad will
necessitate the construction Of a
line to Lawrenceburg and to Louis
vile. This line will go up Benson
valley and thence diverge south
ward and westward. The Benson
and Bridgeport precincts will have
a new line of railroad at their very
doors, and stations in. both pre-
cincts. Citizens of either precinct
can step on the cars and reach
Frankfort in a few moments and
for less money than the cost of
toll. So, he can have short route
to Louisville that will save him IL
to IS miles travel, and nearly one
dollar in cost of passage each trip.
1t appears that the w. c. T.
U. Of Lexington has been meet
ing at the Courthouse in that city
for some time past. The Liquor
Dealers Protective Association of
that city sent a protest to the
County Judge against the use of
the Courthouse by the w. c. L.
U. on the ground that the Union
was attempting to destroy the
business of those who had been
taxed heavily to build the Court
house. The County Judge issued
an order stating that Wednesday
night should be the last meeting
to be held in the Courthouse by
the Union. The Union then
formed themselves into a Prohibi-
ton Political Club. advocating
the election Of the Prohibition
State ticket, and demanded that
they be allowed the use of the
Courthouse with just the same
freedom that the Democratic and
Republican parties are allowed it.
1t is generally conceded that the
"Prohibs" have "kinder got the
call on 'em in this game Of bluff.
